WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A POLICE OFFICER DOESN'T FOLLOW THE RULES?

How can the police department be more responsive to community concerns? Who examines the policies of the police department? These are issues that the office of the Independent Police Auditor (IPA) looks at.

WHAT IS THE INDEPENDENT POLICE AUDITOR'S FUNCTION?

Our office is a government agency separate and independent of the San Jose Police Department. We strive to increase confidence in the police department by listening to the community, by suggesting good policy changes, and by making sure that the Department addresses officer misconduct.
